The Official State Hero of Massachusetts

[RCAvhstape]

Looked this guy up. He was already a vet who served in multiple wars. Fought in the French and Indian War when he was in his 60s. This was not his first rodeo. Man was a warrior.

[scotts.]

if you make it to 78 during that time you are already one tough SOB.

[qwqwe]

That man brings a whole new meaning to the phrase: tis but a flesh wound.

[kidlast]

Imagine your with 20 armed fellow soldiers and old dude pops out like that😲...the art of giving zero f*cks is a deadly weapon 😑

Samuel Whittemore, "Don't tread on me . . . or my lawn." Awesome!

[cya]

Just for the record...that was a GREAT story!!!

[leonceboudreauxwolf]

Good grief !! That's one tough 78 year old !! Just imagine what he was capable of when he was a young man. Much respect for this Patriot 🫡.

Now that's a Patriot. Bravo Mr Wittemore, America thanks you.

[joshhoffman]

And then rose from the grave with a sword in his hand in 1812! 😄😁😆

[zacharynunley]

The embodiment of, Get the F*** off my lawn!

[markrussrll]

[kathykovachick]

That is one tough old man. We need him back today 😊

[WillBravoNotEvil]

The narrative timing is extra crispy! And that he did [wait for it] 18 years later... 😂

[Dramuch]

I never knew my state had a State hero.

[lauralovell]

This made me smile, and watch it again.

[RichRogerson-ow]

I've read his story. A true patriot. I try to imitate mem like him.

[robertjensen]

When I donated a kidney, they said I was a hero.
But when I donated 7 more, they seemed a lot less appreciative.

[lancerevell]

He was a BOSS! And a valiant and noble warrior. Bravo, Sir! 😎👍🇺🇸

[rwarren]

Hey Teacher! I saw you on the History Channel. Great job. Keep reminding us so that history won’t be a mystery.

[michaelchristy]

That is actually something I never would’ve expected. This video made me genuinely laugh out loud at the fact of how unbelievable this man sounds

That’s what a true patriot is
